Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Mmmmmm, roses!!
This time when I got two roses I put the vase on a counter where Mischief does not go. But since my counters are crowded, I moved it to the kitchen table when I was cooking.......and forgot to put it back This morning, the vase was knocked over, one rose was covered in teeth marks, and the other rose had been dragged to the kitchen floor, also covered in teeth marks. *SIGH* I have warned my roommate to keep an eye on the bouquet of roses she got from her boyfriend.

I was amazed when shopping for Valentine's Day dinner how many women were carrying bouquets of flowers out of the store.

The flavor isn't too distinctive, just sweet with an aroma. You can get rose water intended for cooking in South Asian ethnic markets (and probably others). It's a very good dessert sweetening. > Seriously, if you are sure they haven't been sprayed with pesticides, rose > petals are quite nice in salads -- especially fruity ones, amd some > desserts. The flavor isn't too distinctive, just sweet with an aroma. Interesting thought. We have roses in our back yard. I'll have to try that this summer.

Voilets (not the African variety) are also edible and sugared violets are often used to decorate cakes. Never tried it myself but they make a pretty presentation. Jill My Calvin used to try to drink the water in the vase. Never mind the opening was only 2 inches across and stuffed with stems! Obviously more appealing than their nice, fresh water bowl! And, in the case of wild flowers, it was such fun to paw at the little bugs crawling down onto the table! Sometimes upscale natural food stores have edible flowers. Violets are easy to candy. All you need is a paint brush, powdered egg white and superfine sugar. Makes a nice decoration for those of us whose icing roses look like pink blobs! Also, I like nasturtiums in salads for their color and spicy bite, and lavender buds in sugar cookie dough makes them unique. (I like to play with my food! :)) PatM Sounds like you have a 'Wilson' living with you. Jean.P. > This time when I got two roses I put the vase on a counter where > Mischief does not go.
